Advanced
Limbo allows you to specify additional extra QEMU parameters under the Advanced section. QEMU allows a lot of different options for emulate more devices, different interfaces, and other things that will help customize and tune the performance of your virtual machine.
Examples
his is section outlines some of example QEMU options that you can override. For more information about QEMU invocation options visit QEMU help. Keep in mind all extra parameters are being appended at the end of the internal invocation parameter list.
Memory:
You can override the amount of memory using the -m flag, for example to set the RAM memory to 1024 MB:
-m 1024
CPU:
You can provide different cpu features via the cpu option for example if you want to enable the tsc feature on Athlon:
-cpu Athlon,+tsc
or disable it:
-cpu Athlon,-tsc
You could also try an alternative syntax supplying the on/off value to the feature:
-cpu Athlon,tsc=off
Keyboard layout:
If you want to override the keyboard layout to French:
-k fr
Hard Disk Drive:
If you want to add a SCSI hard disk drive instead of IDE:
-drive index=0,if=scsi,media=disk,file=/path/to/diskimage.qcow2

Import and Export
Export Machines
Once you have create your virtual machine configurations you can export them to a csv file so you can import them to another Android device or uninstall and install a different version. You will also need to copy/move any hdd image file or ISO file you are using separately to the device.
Import Machines
So you have installed Limbo on a new android device and you want to import your Machine configurations. The procedure is quite easy just press on the Import Machines on the main menu and select the previous csv file. Once the machines are imported it will notify you that you will probably have to reselect the image files you have just imported. The reason for this is due to the new file permissions in Android.
